Garden rocket
The desire for the Rucola like from the supermarket led me to the garden rocket. The picture on the seed bag misled me about the appearance of the leaves. The rocket cannot serve with the fine leaves like in the supermarket, but it does not detract from the taste. Besides, the flowers are accepted by insects and the cultivation is quite undemanding and easy.
As soon as this plant begins to bloom, the harvest is over, and then it serves as food for insects. As the flower sprouts, the plant takes up significantly more space. If this is not in the way or covers other plants, it can remain in the garden. I mostly use the leaves as a topping for pizza or in a vegetable pan.
